Clarkson University Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering Michelle Crimi and you-the-people (audience/jury) will examine the slippery slope of pinpointing polluters in a mock trial of Corporation X. Key evidence will be exposed by a crackerjack (mock) lawyer with the scientific principles that dictate groundwater contamination processes, focusing on why it’s difficult to identify sources of contamination for justice to be served. You’ll need a drink for this one, so join the Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries at the The Hop on Main Street in Beacon on Thursday, October 20.
